The challenges of reporting from multiple data sources are all too familiar to many businesses. Data located in different sources and different databases with different data structures… Data often manually collected, sorted into spreadsheets and manually extracted to a reporting tool like Microsoft Power BI…Such manual extraction throws up challenges of data integrity, time spent manipulating, reconciliation and testing analytics.
There is only one thing worse than not presenting up-to-date data: presenting incorrect data. Imagine decisions based on poor data that is either outdated or is based on incorrect data sets?
